From: Battlefield International Inc. President, Founder and Owner: Steve Fenton, Cayuga Canada At Battlefield International Inc. we believe that truth, and integrity of character, are more important than our company’s bottom line. Our entire team is very proudly Canadian. We are very glad to be supporting the US Defense industry with needed technical solutions not available anywhere else. We are diligent in making sure our products are supplied to the USA and NATO friendly countries alone and never entertain orders regardless of how large or profitable from bad acting countries. Battlefield presently has the largest dollar value of booked orders in our history, with a significant portion of it from our highly valued US customers. We already can claim our EnduroLink fuel coupling is the global NATO world standard in the UAV defense world. As well, our fluid coupler products are presently populating almost all the latest and most advanced Land Systems tanks and light armored vehicles being produced in the USA as well as around the world. I need to be clear that we are not going to discount our parts whatsoever, considering any tariff that may end up occurring was done as a ridiculous and fabricated emergency measure with no merit whatsoever. I do agree with strengthening our border, so bad actors don’t bypass US Customs to get into the USA, and I also care that we are doing our part to get illegal drugs eliminated from our country and from yours. Our government has already taken the steps required to satisfy your countries concerns almost at the speed that Trump works. However, when we did exactly what Trump asked of us, nothing changed in his overall dictator-like goals regarding our sovereign country we love. In 2025, is it not still OK in the USA, to openly align yourselves with a political party, state all the reasons you voted for your president, and even that you plan on voting for them again, while still being able to openly disagree with any specific policy or behavior of the party and leader? Do you expect that any level of criticism towards the tiniest portion of Trump’s actions would release a Trump “Shock and Awe” push-back designed to keep you all in line? Are you concerned the smallest critique of your President would open the floodgates of hostility from Trump himself, and/or from your fellow Trump supporters? For that reason alone, have you decided to “keep any concerns to yourself’? Is your party morphing into one with zero tolerance for any even slight concerns being able to be discussed openly? If this describes you, congratulations, you could also live long and thrive in North Korea, Iran, Russia and China, where total unquestioning support is required to stay alive and to avoid the whole unpleasant torture thing. For those of you who are proud citizens of the USA, ask yourself how you would conduct yourselves if your country’s sovereignty was joked about and your country is waved off with a chuckle and sneer as having nothing of value needed by another powerful country? This is, to be clear, highly offensive to all of we Canadian’s as it would be to you as well if you were facing something similar. Did we learn nothing from the Nuremberg trials? It is quite easy now to look at the SS and Nazi soldiers and commanders and say, “did you not see what you were doing?” while reasoning to ourselves that: “if I were in the same position as those unfortunate Germans, I would not get drawn into that crowd!” In the movie “Inglorious Bastards” staring Brad Pitt, which group do you best align with? We are your proud Canadian neighbors to the north, your very long-term friends, and battle shoulder to shoulder with your soldiers and our brothers in arms, in critically important conflicts.

The heart of our Canadian nation is presently openly under attack by Trump as well as from all of those who blindly support everything Trump is doing. This attack is leveled at the very core of who we are. Your President has stated that he would like to make Canada the 51st state. While Trump also states there is nothing in Canada the USA needs. Critical thinking is needed desperately and should always be exercised, if we are truly free. We should be easily able to move away from painting both the good and bad of any group with only “an all-black or all-white option.” I just want to remind you all, that for our American friends to avoid posting or verbally challenging specific and limited aspects of the rude, recent threat to Canada’s sovereignty means one of two things: 1. You personally are worried that any small complaint aired against Trump publicly would be considered a shift of yours towards supporting the Democratic party. Fear of retaliation and ostracizing if you speak the truth, is the main culprit. If that’s your reason for staying quiet, I urge you to air your thoughts regardless by just beginning your message with explaining all the very good reasons you were and are still on team Trump. Then be clear that you are only specifically “asking other Trump voters if they believe Canada is being handled fairly” and state any opinions regarding any other policy you believe Trump is pushing that could be an issue if you have any. This is part of your highly valued freedom of speech and can be relayed without stating you are abandoning the party faithful whatsoever. I have taught my children that it is VERY dangerous to remove any critical thinking from your support for any group, person or policy. 2. You agree that the USA should take over Canada and you believe we are being treated as we deserve. Just as Russia Annexed Crimea, stages war exercises in Ukraine and Hitler went into Poland, the USA should forever change its core values to mirroring those leaders and movements you admire as does Trump. You are ready to enable Trump to follow any snap idea that enters his brain and bursts out of his mouth in three word sentences. This leader you fell in love with and would do anything for as a proud Republican stated in 1998 to Peoples Magazine: “If I were to run, I’d run as a republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific. “ Can American Republican party supporters change their minds even regarding a small portion of what the Republicans are about, without risk of negative fallout? I can’t overstate the damage already caused here in Canada in our perception of the entire USA population as Trump lies and misrepresents fabricated issues and the Republican party voting crowd simply remains silent. I don’t consider this message as anything brave on my part. It is my duty as a Canadian to state the truth, and I am asking you to help with this critically important issue. I am very disappointed that so few Republican Trump supporters sitting on the sidelines, quietly, with your critical thinking removed are not joining the proud Canadian population in the concern we have. You can be a Trump supporter and a good Republican and ask questions at the very least. Help us and yourselves and reconnect your critical thinking before it’s too late. Our entire population is just not sure at all if your population is fully with Trump or against his ideas specifically regarding how we are to be treated as a country. There is a “gulf of America-type” silence from almost everyone in the USA, and we do value the very few who have at the least, let us know they felt badly for what we are going through. God Bless America (North America specifically!)

Battlefield International Inc. is pleased to be making progress steadily preparing our extra plant (20,000 sq ft) and refreshed additional office complex with Engineering R & D (9,000 sq ft) on Talbot Street in Cayuga. Here in the pic is one of our “not so secret” advantages. The machine and pallet system here is one of the most capable “lights out” milling centers on earth. But the true advantage is in the person (Cam Brouwer) who is advising the machine what to produce, and getting it to produce the parts very quickly while he goes home to sleep. This 5 axis mill is pictured running three different parts on its own without requiring any staff to tend it, while taking measurements, maintaining the proper temperature, changing tools as they wear, and switching to run the exact quantity of various parts required for each of the three unique parts all without human intervention. If President Trump puts his tariff of 25% onto Canadian produced products, we expect to see an increase in business from the USA due to the shocking baked in value of Battlefield International Canadian products when comparing to the Aerospace grade competition of ours south of the border. The largest competitor of ours, claiming they are “American”, have hundreds of plants in China producing for them. We at Battlefield Cayuga, are only located in America (Canada is in America too. It’s just North America and above our good friends and great customers in the USA!) Our product, used in the Defense sector, after adding in a 25% tariff will sell for between 25 to 75% less than our US competitor who is having the lion’s share of what makes up their product, produced in China. They had a plant in Russia too, but had to abandon it. We don’t have any corporate jets, or helicopters, we are lean and efficient, and we are winning the defense UAV and Land Systems trust, and securing the orders from the USA based defense giants. We don’t dabble in countries like China, Russia, Iran etc. Partly we are winning because of our pricing, but mainly, we are becoming the fluid coupler of choice through the USA defense market and the globe, due to our advanced and provable technical advantages. The 25% tariff will cause US Defense Customers to seek and review all pricing and technical advantages of the available actual product itself in the USA and from other countries. But, if the defense industry also wants to be careful with their spending, if they care about what they get for their dollar, they will land with our product. I would expect President Trump to reach a new level of frustration when realizing the advantages in choosing Canada for their critically important Fluid Connectors offering a massive price advantage even after a 25% tariff is implemented. I do respect what Donald Trump is trying to do in making sure the US economy is his top priority. He has backed that up with dramatic change at a mind numbing speed. With the funds that can be saved in purchasing the best technical solution with the best price by a huge percentage, I think Mr Trump would suggest our Canadian designed and produced fluid coupler was chosen. And the savings in choosing our Canadian Battlefield brand even after the 25% tariff towards our products hit the US Customer, will be able to be passed on to the US Taxpayer. If President Trump wants taxes to be reduced, then he will want the defense industry purchasing Battlefield International Inc. fluid couplers from Cayuga, Ontario, Canada. One more interesting point is we are selling to more and more countries around the globe and expect that to become equally important to our USA defense sales over the next two or three years.
